A Taste of Interfictions 2

“Just before I dozed off to sleep last night, I had a vision. I saw, with my eyes closed, a room that was wallpapered with the most amazing scenery of a battle between angels and demons. It was brilliantly colorful and so amazingly detailed. I can still see the deep red of the evil horde, their barbed tails and bat wings – classic Madison Avenue horned demons, but playing for keeps, slaying angels with their tridents. The angels wore billowing white robes and, of course, had feathered wings in contrast to the slick rodent ones of the enemy. Halos, gleaming swords, harps to call the troops to charge, they poured out of the clouds, riding beams of light toward earth where the demons crawled out of cracks in the ground, smoking volcano craters, and holes in giant trees.”
From: The War Between Heaven and Hell Wallpaper by Jeffrey Ford

“The Long and Short of Short-Term Memory” by Cecil Castellucci

This auction has ended. Thanks to everyone who bid. Please check the front page for more auctions, going on through the first week of December, 2009.

I am a scientist and an artist. Up to recently my time has been 75 % science, 25% art. It is now evolving toward more art, less science. In the coming years it will be 100% art.
I favor water media (watercolor and acrylic). Bookbinding is a hobby.

The story by Cecil Castellucci is about memories; the ones you want to keep and the ones you would like to forget. I see the book as a place to keep the memories. The abstract painting on the fly leaves is my impression of a neural network. The painting was cut to make the front and back fly leaves and there is no possibility of reconnecting the parts. It represents lost memories. The blank pages are for the memories that one wants to keep. When the book is closed the neural network on the clasp is reconnected keeping the memory safe.
